Limited edition double 2LP vinyl of L-FRESH The LION’s acclaimed album SOUTH WEST: a raw ode to culture, identity, and home.
SOUTH WESTis the third full-length album from Australian Hip Hop artist L-FRESH The LION, released in July 2020 via Elefant Traks. Named after the part of Sydney where he was born and raised, the album stands as a powerful tribute to identity, pride, and resilience. Written as a letter to his teenage self, the songs serve as guidance to a young L-FRESH navigating culture, expectation, and self-belief.
Across 13 tracks, L-FRESH blends raw lyricism with soulful production, exploring cultural confidence, self-empowerment, and the complex beauty of growing up in South West Sydney. Songs like Born to Stand Out, Alchemy, and Village Boy combine infectious energy with deeper messages of belonging and strength.
More than an album, SOUTH WESTstands as an Australian cultural artefact. At a time when few records were bridging Punjabi musical textures with contemporary hip hop through the lens of a second-generation Australian voice, this project broke new ground. Seamlessly blending South Asian influences with English lyricism rooted in Western Sydney, it became a sonic document of identity, migration, and place; a record that could only have been made in that moment, by L-FRESH, telling that specific story.
Pressed as a limited edition 2LP, this release features premium artwork and includes two bonus tracks exclusive to the vinyl edition (No Worries and The Set Up). With its thoughtful storytelling and commanding presence, SOUTH WEST stands as one of L-FRESH’s most essential records.
